001 : [Video]

Sep 13, 2010 19:48

[The video swings unsteadily about the familiar backdrop of the baseball diamond for a moment. Accompanying it is a voice; low and even and very much not amused.]

Next time you design a simulation, do me a favor and make it less of a dump.

[It's a pretty convincing dump, to its credit.  VR really has come a long way, apparently.  Although ow, are ( Read more... )

[Liquid, on the other hand, would never mistake that voice. Similar, but not quite identical.]

No more giant robots or nuclear threats. I know, I know. It was hard to think of giving up REX, but frankly, Otacon's right. If you're fighting those bloody pricks anyway, I might as well throw in the towel and accept the help.

[A pause.]

Frankly, compared to them, you're small fry... and the other you is right. You had nothing to do with what I was angry at you for.

...heh. [He sounds amused.] I haven't changed, brother, so there's no reason to be so bemused. I simply switched my objectives.

But I swear to god, if you disappear again...

[His voice turned vaguely threatening.]

[Threats, he's more used to.]

You'll what? I'll be gone, after all, won't I?

Idiot. [His voice was sharp.] Do you realise how badly Otacon took it when you left? Half of the reason he's become so fond of me is simply because I'm your twin, if not more of it.

If you leave again, I'll destroy you when you come back.

[That got to him and you can hear it in his voice, the subtle stiffening of the tone.]

Fair enough. Just make sure you leave him out of it.

I'm not going to hurt him. Hal's important to us all, whether you believe it or not.

[Otacon is just that kind of guy. And as much as his gut rebels against it, it's possible Liquid is telling the truth. (Joining Philanthropy, living under the same roof as Big Boss and Master Miller. Otacon trusted Liquid with his life. How the hell had all that come about?)]

Sounds like I've missed a lot.

I've been here three months and it feels like a lifetime. [His voice is soft and oddly devoid of emotion for the most overly-emotional of the Snakes.]

You - the other you. You were here longer. You and Father were part of the reason I'm not still trying to kill you.

Things are different here... but don't be surprised if people assume I'm still trying to kill you. Officially, I am. You and Father are mine.

[Therefore I have a damn reason for going after them if they hurt you.]

[Well there's a side of Liquid he'd never thought he'd see. The whole thing makes him vaguely uncomfortable.]

"Yours?" Thought you said you were giving up on that grudge of yours.

Voice // Private ysobritish September 19 2010, 00:24:15 UTC
That doesn't mean everyone needs to know it. As long as you're my targets, Kadaj won't kill you. And believe me, he could. He could probably kill me if he was serious about it.

[A pause.]

It wasn't the grudge that led me to try to kill you. Not really. There were... other factors. But it doesn't matter. For now, I'm not your enemy. Who knows what the future might bring? Perhaps some day I'll grow sick of playing the good little boy. Perhaps not.

[There's an awkward silence on his end, Liquid trying to protect him is a strange concept and he sure as hell wasn't expecting it.]

[And if they weren't enemies then what did that make them? Allies, maybe, though he still doesn't trust him very far. (It's true, old enemies can become allies all the time, and vice versa. But this is Liquid.) Certainly not brothers, not in any sense but the genetic.]

...Guess we'll find out.

No matter what you think of me, Brother... for the moment we're on the same side.

[You're mine. My family. And nobody has the right to kill you except me.]

I don't expect you to trust me. I don't care if you do or don't.

[Plainly.] I don't trust you. But I trust Otacon. And from what I've heard you've been behaving yourself. Keep it up and we won't have a problem.

...Brother, you realise that challenging my creativity is not a good idea, correct?

[He sounded faintly amused.]

But rest assured, I have no plans to resort to murder or terrorism right now.
